“Untying the Knot,” The Bumpy Road to Divorce

The Cyclical Ups and Downs of Marriages

First few years Exciting and passionate (aka honeymoon effect)

3 years When marriages begin to falter

A drop in marital quality leads to high divorce rates

10 years If a couple survived the first rough patch, then a second rough patch hits around this time

16-20 years Third rough patch

After 20 years Marital satisfaction tends to rise and level off (Bliss!)
